Snuffle snuffle grumble
Doh! Clumsy, over-sized badger paws...
Here is the video - fingers and claws crossed!

The most beautiful pheasant has been visiting my garden just lately. He's very tame and comes right up to the edge of my sett.
I've been getting a really good view of his multi-coloured feathers. They shimmer in the sunlight sometimes and change from green to purple to deep red-brown. He looks a bit like the one in this video.
I'm going to leave some seed out for him so that he'll keep coming back. He always lets me know when he's arrived with a really loud bark. I particularly like the feather ruffle he does afterwards!

Hello, nature detectives. I have another spring spotting challenge for you.
This time, let's test our animal spotting skills with a bumblebee search. Beebee says that at the end of February, the weather usually starts to warm up just enough to wake up some sleeping minibeasts. One of the first to get out and about is the early bumblebee.
Apparently, they get a headstart on other insects because they have the first flowers all to themselves. They'll be hunting for snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils just like we were!
You can read more about them here: www.wildlifewatch.org/beast-of-the-month-bumblebee. Happy hunting!

Wow! Check out this link: www.wildlifewatch.org.uk/lego-birds
I've been spending the day looking through all the amazing Lego birds that you lot have sent in for one of the magazine competitions. They are really cool! There's a special slideshow to watch where you can see every single entry.
I really like all the different kinds of birds that people have made. It's not all eagles and owls - even unusual species like shelduck and rook have been built. Maybe blue Lego bricks are popular because there are loads of kingfishers and blue tits. Lots of blackbirds too! Some of the birds have also caught Lego prey or have amazing bendy legs and beaks.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a badger building competition? I think I'd be pretty good at that. If only my big badger paws weren't so clumsy...

Swimming blue tits? Robins landing in your hands? Blizzards?? You lot have been busy nature detective, haven't you? You've seen a good selection of birds too. Have you got a tick list for the year?
I like the idea of becoming a wildlife photographer, or maybe even a TV presenter. I think I'd be quite good on camera, a bit like a really hairy Kate Humble or a slightly earthy-smelling Chris Packham.
I hear you need lots of patience to film wildlife though, and I can get a bit fidgety. Have any of you ever snapped something rare or unusual?

Hi everyone, today I went on a walk on some heather moorland and along the walk there were signs telling you about wildlife that had been seen on the moors before. One of the birds was a Red Grouse. To our surprise, as we were walking at the edge of the heather, we saw two fly out!! It was really good because I had never seen one before. We also saw some Gorse.
